Cartalax Profile

Emerging

Bioregulatory Tripeptide | Cartilage & Connective Tissue Support

Overview

Synthetic tripeptide developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson, supporting cartilage, connective tissue, and cellular regeneration through proliferation markers and apoptosis pathway modulation.

Mechanism of Action

Modulates cell proliferation, suppresses apoptosis, affects fibroblast activity, reduces senescence markers, and influences extracellular matrix preservation.

Key Benefits

  • Joint and connective tissue support
  • Potential anti-aging effects on fibroblasts
  • Cartilage regeneration support
  • Established safety profile in Russian clinical practice
